the grievor was denied and her ability to perform them successfully in the temporary
positions shows that she could have performed them in the positions she wanted.
12. In our view those tasks and responsibilities, and the skills required to perform
them, would be found in a number of support positions at Seneca, particularly in the
registrarial areas. Many employees would demonstrate those skills, at a range of levels of
responsibility and accountability. Consequently we believe that such evidence is too
generalised to be of value to us in our decision-making.
13. As set out above, evidence about events that occur after the impugned decision is
rarely relevant. In the City of Vancouver case the arbitrator allowed the employer to call
evidence about the grievor's poor performance in the identical job performed in a few
months after the challenged competition because the evidence offered a true
demonstration of the grievor's performance in the very job. In contrast, in Marshall
Gowland Manor [1992] a.L.A.A. No 739, Arbitrator Joliffe did not permit the union to
call evidence about the grievor's performance in a part-time job to support her assertion
that she was capable of performing the same job on a full-time basis. The arbitrator
concluded that although many of the job duties were the same, the employer had a higher
expectation of competence and responsibility from those it hired on a full time basis.
14. The different outcome in those two cases highlights how exceptional it is to
permit evidence of job performance that follows the challenged decision. It is only where
the same job is performed and it is performed almost immediately after the challenge
decision that arbitrators have permitted post-event evidence to be called. Those criteria
are not met in this case.
15. We also note that the union is not alleging that Seneca acted in an arbitrary,
discriminatory or bad faith manner in denying the grievor the positions. Some arbitrators
have permitted the calling of after-the-fact evidence to shed light on the employer's
motivations for the earlier decision. (see for example Liquor Control Board of Ontario,
(2008) 174 L.A.c. (4th) 348.) That is not an issue in this case.
16. As counsel for the employer argued, arbitrators must always consider whether the
proposed evidence is sufficiently relevant to outweigh the additional time and cost that
will be involved in permitting it to be heard. Counsel for the union has submitted that it
would not take long for the grievor to testify about the work she performed in the
temporary positions. But we must remember that the employer would likely want to call
evidence of its own to respond to the grievor's evidence. We believe that process could
add as much as two days of evidence to these proceedings. Weare not satisfied that the
evidence the union proposes to lead is sufficiently useful to outweigh the added costs and
time that need to be spent in holding and responding to that evidence.
Summary
17 . We will not permit the union to call evidence about the grievor's performance in
the temporary positions she worked after the layoff. That post-event evidence is not
sufficiently probative to the question we have to determine that it outweighs the time and
cost that would be spent in calling it and in the employer calling responsive evidence.
